The Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) has been at the forefront of innovation and inspiration. The keynote sessions started with my presentation on the topic ‘The Humanification of the Workforce', which explored how technology is radically disrupting and redefining the future of HR and changing the way we live and work. The Summit kicked off this day with a welcome address by Her Excellency Fareda Abdullah Mohammed Al Ali. I’m proud she was present at my keynote.

About the 2018 HRTECH Summit in Dubai

The Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) has been at the forefront of innovation and inspiration. Be it record-breaking projects or jaw-dropping spectacles, it has always captivated the world's hearts. Technology has revolutionized the way humans live and also has greatly impacted the way organizations function many times over.

We are now in the brink of an era of Revolutionizing the Future of Workplace where a proactive mindset and being business strategy focused is essential to meet the demands of tomorrow. HR is at a crossroads, where it is no longer a service-oriented function but needs to be equipped in order to influence other aspects of business. In the Middle East, as the organizations are moving towards digitization, HR Leaders are turning to latest technology solutions for their Human Resource Functions in order to make smart business decisions.

While there are a number of HR-focused and Tech focused events take place in the region, there is none that brings both HR and Tech together for workplace collaboration. To bridge this gap, we initiated the HR Tech MENA Summit in 2015, as the only event focused on HR Technology that brings together HR and IT Leaders from around the GCC region and leading technology innovators from around the world under one roof to discuss latest technology trends and disruptions for a period of two days.

With four tremendously successful editions in the past, we are gearing up for the fifth annual HR Tech MENA summit 2019 that has evolved into a one of a kind powerhouse, that plays hosts to regional thought leaders and international experts. This is the perfect platform for any organization in the MENA region who are on their digital transformation journey in order to be future ready.

From the biggest government bodies to large private organizations and International Solution Providers coming together to revolutionize the future of workplaces, the topics covered for the 2019 edition would cover revamp of talent acquisition, increased reliance on people analytics, developing employee experience, digitization of workplace using artificial intelligence and machine learning, personalized learning as well as other advancements in traditional HR processes.
